There are no security upgrades for Wheezy. But that's not much of an issue for my two Wheezy machines. One is a television server (for over-the-air broadcast TV). The other is my phonetop, which I use as an alternative desktop, but rarely use to browse the internet.

For everything else, I have a laptop running Debian Buster.

Backup the system before upgrading then. But you already have a full backup, right?

If you're using btrfs then take a snaphot, boot into the snapshot and upgrade that to test.

I'll wait a couple of months before upgrading to Buster just in case!

I'm running Sid on my desktop. Have been for several years. No problems whatsoever. So I don't need to upgrade to Buster, I already have it.

I didn't like that for Sid, so I edited /etc/os-release to look like this:

Code: Select all

bloom@zilversteen:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (sid)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (sid)"
VERSION_CODENAME=sid
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"

The *fetch programs draw that information from /etc/os-release:

Code: Select all

E485:~$ dpkg -S /etc/os-release                                                           
base-files: /etc/os-release
E485:~$
The base-files package has just been updated in preparation for the Debian 10.0 release, your sid boxen will regain their identity when bullseye is created and a new base-files version is released for testing/unstable.

There should be a choice in the poll where it says: "I already upgraded to Buster, no need to wait for the launch date"

I believe that option falls into the "crap post commenting how this poll could be better" category.

I will wait a few months and then i will upgrade all of my machines. There is nothing in a hurry. In addition, Debian Stretch works great.

Did this about a month ago LoL

Actually was a fresh install not an upgrade but whatever.

Have had no problems with anything that I use daily.
